Can the Dems finally get Biden's 'Build Back Better' passed?

Amanpour

About this episode

Democrats are on the brink of an agreement over a substantial climate, healthcare and tax package – without a single Republican vote. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has lambasted the bill, calling it “a terrible deal,” and its fate now comes down to just one senator: Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema. Will President Biden finally get this key piece of his agenda passed? Colorado Democratic Senator John Hickenlooper is a staunch advocate of the bill and joins the show from DC.  Also on today's show: CNN US Security Correspondent Kylie Atwood on the Brittney Griner verdict; Annie Lowrey, staff writer at The Atlantic, on her difficult pregnancies and the heartbreaking choices women sometimes face; NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the passing of his friend, mentor and role model, Bill Russell.
